Abstract

Equal opportunity laws have brought blacks in large numbers into corporate managerial ranks. Yet in the midst of this good news there is widespread disappointment, dismay, frustration, and anger among black managers who feel they have not gained acceptance on a par with their white peers. Three years of research and more than 200 interviews with professionals in a large variety of fields disprove the myth that companies are color-blind. Commitment to equal opportunity is vital and must come from the top down.
